I use openGL with Unreal Tournament with a Geforce 2 MX. Works great but has a little bit of a problem displaying alternate fire rocket's. Small price to pay for and extra 40-50 fps tho. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gifQuote:

How do you do that then?Quote:

Hmm. The terrain in Tribes 2 is smooth but seemingly still a bit sparse of foliage and other stuff to make the terrain more interested (although it does include *some* trees). On the other hand, the Unreal terrain stuff seems to be able to cope with something verging on a freakin' sparse forest, yet it doesn't appear to stretch as far as the Tribes terrain - for instance the edges of the snowy map are just a skybox with a mountain range image, so it might only be able to do smaller areas of terrain (possibly limited by normal Unreal engine maximum map size). Guess we'll have to wait and see. both looks pretty spiffy for different reasons though. :)Quote:

Is that usin the modified opengl.dll that was released by someone from Loki? I followed those instructions to the letter on a clean UT install and couldn't get it to work. It kept dumping me into software mode instead.Quote:

I was wondering that about the Unreal engine if that was just like a box at the edge. I do agree that the Tribes terrain could be a little more interesting https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/6.gif Why do you need trees when you can just plant some turrets to liven things up. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/6.gif I still think that those pics are amazing for the Unreal engine and hopefully we can see some of that utilized in a game soon. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif
Ill look up the link when i get my computer fully built. Right now im stuck surfing the net at school cause my dad doesnt have a comp.
its hell to get used to the internet and gaming on it then be taken away from it cold turkey...
those screen shots blew me away.
life is good.
Nah, GOTYE (I don't even want to try and say that abreviation) is just the latest UT with the Bonus Pack, the Infiltration mod (I think that's it) and Chaos UT.Quote:

It's a little more complex than that (I can go into sky zones and fake backdrops but I'd bore you to death ;) ) but yeah, it is essentially a box around the outside of a level, although it can be any shape really. That's what you get in regular Unreal levels and it also seems to be the case with the terrain engine, meaning it can't stretch for huge distances like I think the Tribes terrain can (although I could be wrong, never played much Tribes to be honest).Quote:

Thanks for clearing that up! I was going to say that if that wasnt like a skybox around those maps then DAMN that would be amazing. Oh well, someday soon I hope. I was just wondering becuase I know in Tribes it goes on forever, well, not forever there is an end to the map but its a good distance out.Quote:

I'm glad I have t1...This download is slow as snot!
I just let it run overnight, but then I'm sued to doing that since I'm still on a modem (damn lame UK telecoms). :)Quote:

On Planetunreal.com they had n interview about the new unreal tech, and they said that the scenes shown in the video were rendered with a GF256SDR at 25 fps with a polycount of more than 100000 triangles.
They also told Q/A Pete that performance shall increase a lot, cause the code is still alpha. I hope that's true.
It's definetly a good step to get away from Glide ( it's a good API but...I changed my V3 to a GTS, you know.)
Hopefully this stuff is implemented in Unreal2!

Yeah, I am glad they are getting away from Glide also. I believe I read where they signed or partnered up with NVIDIA or something along that line. Anyone know more about that?Quote:
